they look so fragile and "light"...and have almost no head/body.

Something weird: when I play my bass in the basement almost each time a spider comes out and stops 70cm-1m away from me and it kinda stands up (like when the supersmall spiders are ready to "jump"). When I stop playing, he "sits down", and if I get closer he just goes away. I think it has something to do with vibrations and whatnot, but the weird thing is that it faces ME and not the speaker, and he does not simply go away when I stop, just stays there. It's almost like having an aracnofan ha ha.

^^^shoot a picture of that!!!

it's a protein and not a neurotoxin is why. it necrotises yr flesh so that the spider can easily digest it.

I was bitten on the leg by one of these fuckers a few years back. never even felt it, until the next day. I got lucky. the black spot never got bigger than about the size of a pencil eraser.

Haha oh man, I couldn't deal with that. But it sounds hilarious.

right... i live in florida. i cant stand roaches or spiders... well actually.. i dont mind spiders unless they're really big. usually instead of killing them i just leave it alone if it doesnt come towards me though.

You know, that was the first thing that came to my mind when I read the title of this thread.

This is the reason I turned down the idea of travelling to Borneo island in 2005. I had the money, i had the company to go with, everythng was set, i was just like "what if I get to meet sone SPIDERS in the jungle?"

I remember living in Okinawa, running through the woods as I'd normally do whenever I'd get out of school. I was alone and ran into this giant spider, think they called 'em "banana spiders". Sucker was larger than my hand...huge. I recall staring at it almost in a trance, and walking back very slowly unable to take my eyes off of it. I was in his territory, + I knew it. Sucker scared the shit out of me...

But ya know...it was only the size of this creature that bothered me. I think I was ten years old.

After moving back to the United States I seriously "can't be bothered"...not after seeing that thing.

Snakes, however, are another story. Me and Indiana Jones feel the same exact way about those slithery things.

i absolutely hate snakes. i would probably run and scream if i saw one. yes im a pussy!!

ANYWAYS, i think when i was like 6 i was home alone and my grandma was taking care of me... and somehow a wasp found its way into my underwear and bit me in an area very close to my nuts... the biggest pain ive ever recieved in my life.

Are you sure that was a wasp and not yr grandma?

Just kidding.

That doesn't sound like much fun at all.

i wish.

ok what the fuck am i saying. yeah it definitely wasnt fun i fuckin hate wasps, i wish i could just line every wasp in the world in a straight line and shoot them all at the same time with the worlds largest gun ever invented (im too damn lazy to stand in one spot shooting a trillion wasps one by one!)

how old are you?

im as old as you want me to be.

Spiders really seldom do anything. Yr more likely to die from a car accident than by being bitten by a spider.

Spiders prey on the smaller/more annoying things. Kinda like some of you on this forum.

that probably means me.

It wasn't directed at anyone in particular. They gave you more shit when they thought you were me....

true, and for some reason i liked it!

Of course, I did too. Just reinforced things I already knew. Loved the fact that they WANTED you to be me. ha....

you happen to be related to Keeping it Simple in some way?

i dont even know what you're talking about now
